Topic: Theory about Rape in the Military Posted: Nov 05 2012 at 11:38pm |
I'll keep this short. I was watching this
which is a documentary about rape in the military and how rare it is for these crimes against women to be taken seriously. I got the idea that the whole reason women were ever allowed in the military was to entertain the men. I say this because when it comes to physical work, women are much less efficient and more vulnerable; they don't even allow the women in combat; they create environments which enable the men to prey on the women; and they often blame the woman for complaining about it or sweep it under the rug.
This is something they had to have known would happen. It's a simple as 1-2-3. Men/people will behave in predictable ways in certain situations. These are men are stressed out, isolated from society, away from their families, and sometimes risking life and limb and they throw a few women into the mix. What did they expect would happen? They come in from a hard day of work, no family to greet them, they already feel like women are not doing their share of the work, and they most likely feel entitled.
I have never been in the military nor do I have any family members who have so I may be way off here. What is your opinion on this?

What were y'all talking about specifically? Do you think it's a conspiracy? Or did you just want more information on how bad the situation actually is?

women were allowed in because white women cried about equality are you saying that men are inherently animalistic creatures bound to rape under stressful/non-ideal circumstances
my theory is that they know they're going to get away with it/be excused because "boys will be boys"

i didn't click the link.. but what i find amazing is that if you are raped in the military and you got pregnant you can't even have an abortion and unless its under dire circumstances only (someone please correct me if i'm wrong)... it seems that if you are goin gto be putting your life at risk to save those at home the least you could have is at least the same health services as the ones you are protecting

Honestly yes. Not all or most of them necessarily but different underlying traits will be exposed in the absence of law and order. That's with most people. I only mentioned men specifically because this is about rape. I would say the same about people who will steal if they feel they won't get caught. This is the reason for audits, etc. Nothing personal against men.

I remember seeing some special on 20/20 years ago about one of those big name military academies where women were getting raped, and the women were being talked about like they were wild horses, and raping them was like breaking them and training them.
I think they had just one or a couple of women b/c prior to that they didn't allow females.
